The outlet goes on to report that Pogba remains a ‘priority’ signing for United manager Jose Mourinho.

On Wednesday, the player’s agent, Mino Raiola, discussed what it would take to tempt the midfielder to leave Turin.

He said: “If you come with a project that will make Paul want to leave, we’ll talk with the club.”

The Daily Mail add to the claims that Real are no longer pursuing Pogba, as the club have decided not to sell striker Alvaro Morata.

The 23-year-old re-joined the Spanish giants this summer after they took advantage of a £23m buy-back option in the Spain international’s contract at Juventus. He was expected to be sold on for a huge profit, but their decision to hold onto the striker means they will not have the sufficient funds to move for Pogba.
